Especially NumberJ and Callisto come to mind thus far.
    You've got a point there - looking for the spots Krile mentioned was fun.
    Exploring the new areas was fun aswell.
    I'm glad I have some of both left to do because you know what the problem here is? Thats a one time thing. After that it looks as if its gonna be killing mobs... waiting for the NM to spawn and the like.
    If exploring and finding hidden objects would have been the core aspect of this, I would like it a lot more. But from the looks of it the core aspect is: Kill mobs, pray for crystals to drop.

    The thing is: We spend about 2 hours in Eureka yesterday (granted, not that much to judge from yet), but the major part was spend with killing mobs (not fun). Maybe 15 minutes were spend with looking for the spot Krile mentioned (was fun) and another 15 with quests and explantions and the like (was okay). The core gameplay here just isnt or wasnt fun.
    Right now it feels to me that I'm not grinding for rewards as in items but for rewards as in "something fun to do".

    Eureka needs less mob zerging and more fun, intresting things to do - maybe thats gonna happen on higher levels, but to be frank: I doubt it. It doesnt look like it so far with the core mechanic obviously being to murder monsters while standing in a prime spawn location.

    With that little time in Diadem 2.0, most people didn't realize that special expedition existed, which was considered the only interesting thing in this mess. Let's give it some more time.

    ...while I'm willing to give it some more time, I'm not willing to give it a lot of hope - and I already had little of that.

    Funny enough that this post doesnt really help since its basically saying "There was ONE semi-good thing in Diadem 2.0 - lets wait til this one good thing appears in Eureka!"
    The problem still stands: Most of the time is gonna be spend hoping for fun/intresting stuff to happen. While killing boring mobs.
